ODYSSEY COMMUNICATIONS PVT. LTD. vs LOKVIDAYAN SANGHATANA & ORS.

The Supreme Court held that the right to exhibit films on Doordarshan is protected under Article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution, which can only be curtailed under Article 19(2) conditions. The Court found that the High Court erred in issuing an interim injunction against the telecast of the T.V. serial 'Honi-Anhoni', as the respondents failed to assert any statutory or contractual right justifying such an order. The appeal was allowed, and the interim order was set aside, reinforcing the importance of freedom of expression in media.
